Hello everyone, I posted in the introductions that I will ask a bunch of questions...here is a few
I downloaded a program called Sahih bukhari ver. 1,1 It's an interesting read.
But what is it? It seems to be a guide to live by.
Also, I am a typical American GA male. I drink, I look at women and lust after them. I am married, and would not act on my impulse, but do stare and lust.
I enjoy BBQ {former BBQ competitor} So pork is involved. I cuss, get angry, make racial comments and not very fond of black people. Now...let me explain that I am NOT racist. I am a musician, have several black folks I talk with just about every day, have had my black friends in my home several times for cook-outs, football games ect...... BUt have had several bad run-ins with blacks in my life. My brother in-law was killed by one while doing his job {repo man} my cousin was killed in a drug deal gone bad. I have had a gun pulled on me from neighbors and had a few run-ins with them as they were dealing drugs from their house. So my GENERAL view of the "thug", ghetto trash isn't good.
That being said..how can I be a good muslim with so much turmoil in my life? How do you "re-program" your mind when this life is what I was brought up in and has been for many yrs.?
